      abstract = {In recent years, cities across the United States have  expanded their bicycle infrastructure. In some instances,  community members and local politicians have criticized  these developments and noted a link between bicycle lanes  and gentrification. In response, recent studies have  assessed the quantitative associations between bicycle  infrastructure and gentrification in a few large cities.  Their results have been mixed but generally support  residents’ claims of linkages between gentrification and  bike infrastructure. However, research is often limited to  a handful of large central cities, mostly in the United  States. This thesis assessed the associations between  gentrification and bicycle infrastructure such as bike  lanes and off-street trails and paths in 46 large American  cities. Specifically, it used contemporary municipal  bicycle infrastructure data aggregated to the census tract  level. It conducted multivariate regression analyses to  identify the cross-sectional associations between  gentrification and other socio-economic indicators and the  presence of bike infrastructure. It compared these  associations by city size and geographic region. It found  substantial evidence that gentrifying tracts had higher  rates of cycling infrastructure relative to disadvantaged,  non-gentrifying tracts. This trend was less pronounced in  America’s largest 5 cities, and there was substantial  regional variation in both infrastructure coverage and  relative levels when comparing gentrifying,  non-gentrifying, and advantaged tracts.},
